Don't Sweat the Small Stuff:
Giving Students More Autonomy in Designing a Freshman Writing Course Curriculum through Online Texts/Systems
I am working on finalizing a project I tested out last year in combining our ENGL 150 course (a pre-freshman research strategies writing course) with the actual research course in a "stretch" (2 semester) package. To do this, I am working with McGraw-Hill Connect Plus and an online textbook--The McGraw Hill Guide to Writing Online-- to pace students through the reading and assignments there and allow the class meetings to be less lecture and more about discussing writing questions that are more global concerning audience and planning and to allow more time for individual and group conferencing.
